1 Walking LungesStand up straight with your hands on your hips. Keep your torso perpendicular to the floor and your abs tight. Take a large step forward with your right foot. Keeping your right knee directly over your ankle, drop down until your right thigh is parallel to the floor. Pause for one second, then use both legs to pull your body up, bringing your left foot forward until it's next to your right. Repeat, alternating feet. Work up to three sets of 20 (10 with each leg).What It Works, quads, hamstrings, glutes, lungs (you'll be breathing hard by the end)

The Exercises

LEG PRESSThis is a classic for building strong quads, and it comes as no surprise that it's a prime part of the U.S. Ski Team workout. In addition to the standard two-leg push, experts suggest varying the movement and pace to work a greater range of muscles. Try pushing with two legs and then lowering with one, says Andy Walshe, director of sport science for the team. Other options: Push down and up with one leg, and slow the pace with a count of eight up and eight down. >Why Do It Strong quads directly translate to strength and stability on the hill. They contribute to form, keeping you forward in your boots, and function, helping you steer and brake.>Watch Out Be sure that when you adjust the seat, your torso and thighs form a 90-degree angle in the ending position. An angle greater than 90 degrees will stress your knees and increase your chance of injury.
